19
Q

What is the MOGES classification

A

Morphofunctional
Organ involvement
Genetic predisposition
Etiologic definition
functional status

20
Q

What is systolic dysfunction

A

decreased contractility leading to reduced EF

21
Q

What generally causes systolic disfunction

A

Dilated cardiomyopathy

22
Q

What is diastolic dysfunction

A

inability for the ventricle to completely relax to allow for appropriate passive filling

23
Q

What generally causes diastolic dysfunction

A

hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
restrictive cardiomyopathy

24
Q

What occurs in the heart with dilated cardiomyopathy

A

eccentric hypertrophy which causes the ventricles to dilate

the excessive dilation with lead to reduced contractility

25
Q

As the LV dilates, what are the downstream effects on the heart

A

Increase pre-load
cause increased atrial pressure
and finally atrial dilation

26
Q

What is the most common cause of right sided heart failure

A

left sided heart failure

27
Q

how does the body try to compensate for decreased cardiac output

A

RAAS

28
Q

What is pheochromocytoma

A

Tumor arising from catecholamine producing cells in the adrenal gland

29
Q

When is Takostubo classically seen

A

postmenopausal women

30
Q

What is S3 heart sound associated with

A

maximum compliance of the LV

31
Q

What makes the S3 sound

A

Sound of the blood from the LA striking the dilated LV

32
Q

What is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

A

Thickened myocardium leading to poor diastolic filling

33
Q

What are some causes of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

A

genetic
chronic hypertension
aortic stenosis
amyloidosis

34
Q

What is concentric hypertrophy

A

sarcomeres are stacking and getting thicket
*genetic abnormalities are generally associated

35
Q

What is HOCM

A

hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy

*sudden cardiac death (most commonly in athletes)

36
Q

What occurs in the heart with HOCM

A

LV hypertrophy along the septum begins to occlude the outflow tract

as this tract narrows, a vacuum can form which decreases CO

37
Q

What heart sound is associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

A

S4
*harsh crescendo/decresendo as it hits the outflow obstruction

38
Q

What is occurring with restrictive cardiomyopathy

A

fibrosis of the myocardium

39
Q

What is compliance

A

ability of myocytes to stretch

40
Q

What type of murmur can occur from restrictive cardiomyopathy

A

systolic from regurgitation

41
Q

What are some of the causes of restrictive cardiomyopathy

A

end-myocardial fibrosis
radiation fibrosis
amyloidosis
sarcoidosis
hemochromatosis

42
Q

What population is restrictive cardiomyopathy most common in

A

children in developing countries

43
Q

What is sarcoidosis

A

An autoimmune disease
form of restrictive cardiomyopathy

44
Q

What disease processes is hallmarked by non-caseating granuloma formation

A

Sarcoidosis

45
Q

Where do the non-caseating granulomas in sarcoidosis deposit

A

Lungs
Heart
Eyes
Skin
